(HELP)
I have been using two accounts of Whatsapp beta on my N20U (India).
In the last update, there seems to have been a change in the storage location of Whatsapp Media.
For the regular app - its moved from /Whatsapp/Media to /Android/media/com.whatsapp/Whatsapp/Media.
Problem is for the DualApp Whatsapp install. Earlier the media was stored in /DualApp/Whatsapp/Media. But after the Whatsapp Beta update, I cannot seem to find where the DualApp Whatsapp stores the media. Can anyone tell me where to look for the media?
Even when trying to "View Media in Gallery" - it says media cannot be found.

I ran into a storage problem today, unusually it became full on my phone when I tried to open Youtube app.
I've looked around and emptied the HTC album cache already.
So my question.
How can I change the storage locations for youtube, the SMS messages and the Twitter messages etc?
I had a quick look through this area and didn't see anything about it so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I was running stock 4.2.1 unlocked and rooted on my Nexus 7 and everything had been fine but in the last couple of days 3 apps haven't been able to update properly.
The Play app tried to update Nexus Media Importer, BBC iPlayer and Facebook but every time it tried it left a message for each saying:
"Update for <app name> could not be downloaded due to an error (Error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"
Everything else seems to work OK and my Nexus has just updated to 4.2.2 but the error persists.
I tried uninstalling Nexus Media Importer but get a similar error when trying to reinstall it.
I looked in 'Storage' and found that somehow it was using .98GB of my RAM so I uninstalled some stuff and got it down to 748MB (still a lot?) but still I cannot install Nexus Media Importer or update BBC iPlayer and Facebook - same error.
Any ideas? I can browse and do everything else so my Internet connection is fine and my 'phone updated BBC iPlayer and Facebook without any problems so it's definitely local to the Nexus.
Also what does 'Apps (app data and media content)' refer to other than the obvious? It shows pictures, videos, downloads, etc. separately and I don't have that many apps installed so I'm bothered as to why it's using so much RAM. (All cache is cleared, BTW)
Searching here I found something about stopping Google Services Framework and clearing data followed by a restart but that didn't do it, also I have a second Google Play account so I switched to that but it was the same.
In case anyone goes looking for the same problem in future, the cure was to delete the main email account that the Play store uses (Settings / Accounts / Google), then recreate it and all will be well. It will delete emails, calendar entries, etc. but they'll be reloaded when you log back in so nothing will be lost.
hi there.
two days ago i got my new s5. i like it and all but all the image storing and online storage is a little much at first. but since my previous phone was stolen and i lost a couple of hundred of fond memories (pictures) i was determined to store them online this time. i set up a dropbox account that seems to come with the phone and i used picasa or whatever google drive calls my online gallery (never used this before).
it's neat and i figured out how to hide online pictures so it serves as a backup.
NOW TO MY PROBLEM:
since everything is new to me here (had sgs2 before) i played around in the gallery that is now largely different. i seem to have set something to the wrong setting because now it doesn't show ANY PICTURES anymore. not from any folder/album. from one second to the other everything was gone (from the gallery). the pictures are all there, though. i can access them with any other app (es file explorer, google pictures, camera, etc.) but i want my gallery back. it says "no items - after you take, record or upload pictures or videos to dropbox, items will be shown in gallery"
this leads me to suspect that i might have switched my gallery to displaying the contents of my EMPTY dropbox account. i don't want this but i am unable to change it back. besides i have an app for dropbox stuffs so why is this feature even integrated?
settings shows me the following:
accounts:
[g] my gmail account
SNS DATA CONTROL:
sync via wifi only [v]
CLOUD SYNC
dropbox sync
tap to sync content
FILTER
filter by
TAGS
tag buddy
off
face tag [_]
above i can only access "Add Account" which brings me to a menu displaying all my accounts (or some): samsung, google, dropbox, facebook
PLEASE HELP ME!
i did not find any help searching because there seems to be a similar problem with people's media storage malfunctioning. i don't believe that is my problem but i tried resetting the media storage anyways. i am sure it is something that i did to hide my pictures. how do i get them back? i don't plan on using a different gallery app but maybe it is the only solution?
regards

EDIT:

i actually just installed quickpic and it shows all my pictures which proves to me even further that nothing is wrong with the pictures but just that my gallery is screwed up. how do i unscrew it?
Clear data for gallery app under settings/applications.
This is new and strange on my S7 Edge. Photos sent to me on whatsapp were usually shown in my gallery app.
Not anymore!! The "whatsapp" album on gallery is not there and I can't see whatsapp saved images...
What am I doing wrong?

try a reboot
Mine are still in the gallery, did you sync your Whatsapp account so it downloads all contacts and stored messages and such as you had on your old phone? I'm no Whatsapp expert but maybe there are settings you can change. I moved everything from my old phone with Smart Switch but I noticed the UI from Whatsapp changed a lot compared to what I had on my S2.
If reboot does not work then download esfile explorer or root fileexplorer you can check whatsapp folder for nomedia file if you find it delete it. It is not shown normally so you have to set it to show all files.
I have an Axon 7 that was purchased shortly after release in the US. I have been using it for over a month now, and I find it to be a great phone. I am astonished at the quality of the pictures you can take with it. I should point out that compared to most of the members of this forum I would probably be considered a rookie. Anyway, I am having issues in 2 areas.
One is with it's syncing with my Exchange accounts (of which I have 2). I receive all of the emails timely. However, often after I have read them on the Axon 7, they still show up as unread when I use my Outlook client. Furthermore, when I edit a contact on the phone, the edits do not show up for the contact when I go to the Outlook client. Using the phone to look at contacts, I am unable to get to the Notes I have entered using my Outlook. Lastly, I have events which I have scheduled using my calendar in Outlook that are a month out from the current date. They do not show up in the Calendar on the Axon 7. Anybody have any suggestions?
The second is with the playing of .wav file attachments from emails. When someone calls my office and leaves a message with the voice mail system, the voice mail system sends me an email with the message attached. I have several apps on the Axon 7 for playing audio: ES Media Player, Google Play Music, Music, Rocket Player, VLC, and Winamp. None of them are able to play the .wav file. The attachment shows up, and I can download it, but nothing on the phone will play it. I know the .wav file is good because it shows up in the Outlook client, and I can play it from there. I also have a colleague to which these messages get forwarded. She is able to play them on her Galaxy S6 phone with no problem.
The Axon OS is Android 6.0.1 and it appears to be using the B27 update. The phone is absolutely box stock. About the only other matter of note is that the phone it replaced was a Galaxy S5. When the new phone had the new, nano-sim installed and powered up, it automatically installed all of the apps which were on the old phone. However, none of the settings for the apps from the old phone carried forward. I had to re-do these settings for each app which I am attempting to use.
TTT!
Come on forum members. Surely someone has an idea on how to solve my issues.
I have no problem playing .wav messages from my exchange account. When I click the message, it downloads, then I open the message from the notification panel with VLC. Automatically plays fine.

Your problems seem to all be with the email client in the phone - don't use it. I do everything you do when you have problems, but I have no problems. I also use the Gmail app instead of the phone's built in email. Try using a different email app
